Corncroft stands on the corner of the Crofts and Corn Street and was once known as ‘Parliament House’. A possible source for this evocative name comes from J.A. Giles’ History of Witney’. It is suggested that Witney is derived from the Anglo-Saxon names of, Witan-ige or Witan-eye, which meant “Island of the Parliament’.
It has also been suggested that James I held a Parliament here in Witney, and the venue wherein this supposed Parliament was held would naturally enough have taken the name ‘Parliament House’.

took us to his local and had a beer with us. Spotlessly clean, a little more up market
than your average guest house. We had a great stay”
Simon Evans
